Beyond High Definition: Make Images 4K
Upscaling can be used to achieve a specific artistic look, restore or preserve old photos, and so much more. If you want to print or display a photo at a larger size, upscaling can help maintain the image's dimensions without making it appear pixelated or blurry. This is useful for posters, banners or large-format prints.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to make an image 4K with Luminar Neo?
Use the Upscale AI Extension in Luminar Neo to easily enlarge an image to 4K. All you have to do is choose the amount you want to upscale your image to and click a button. It’s that easy!
How does a 4K image upscaler work?
In a nutshell, upscaling in a 4K photo maker uses various interpolation algorithms to estimate the color and brightness values of the additional pixels. Upscale AI in Luminar Neo analyzes your photo and provides you with a zoomed-in, high-quality image.
What is the difference between upscaling and native 4k photography?
Upscale 4K and native 4K photography are two different concepts related to image resolution and quality. Native 4K photography refers to capturing or creating images at a resolution of 4K pixels, which typically means approximately 4,000 pixels horizontally. This is a high-resolution format used in professional photography and videography. Upscaling refers to increasing the resolution of an existing image, typically by enlarging it using various algorithms or software tools.
Are there any limitations to upscaling images to 4K?
If you want to make the resolution of a photo 4K or a higher, there are limitations related to the original image quality, the upscaling algorithm used and the extent to which you can increase the size of the image while maintaining acceptable visual quality. Use Luminar Neo’s Upscale AI to maximize the quality of your results.
